Hi guys hoping someone can help me. I bought some repro m16 calipers for my capri from rally design. However firstly standard 3/16 male unions were not long enough to create a seal. so I got back to them and they sent me some longer unions. I have tried these but I think one is still very very slightly leaking has anyone else encountered this problem and sorted it? any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Reason I say that is if they're 3/8 they will still screw in but will leak because of the -0.5mm

Ah ok thanks. The leak is coming from where the pipe goes through the union, just woundering if anyone thinks the flare needs redoing as the caliper on the passenger side is fine.
